This type of diagram is used to show how traits are passed in families.
Pedigree
A gene that is carried on the X chromosome is called what?
X-linked
What is the dark spot in the nucleus made when one of the X chromosomes in females is inactivated?
A Barr Body
The failure of homologous chromosomes to separate during meiosis can cause what?
Nondisjunction
Two genes that are close together on the same chromosome would show a (low/high) crossing over frequency
low
Exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during prophase I is called what?
Crossing over
This disease is cause by a mutation in the blood clotting protein makes person unable to stop bleeding after an injury
Hemophilia
A Chi-square value that is less than the p-value means you should (accept/reject) the null hypothesis.
accept
When a trait, such as height in humans, is continuously variable over a wide phenotypic range, it is reasonable to suspect that it is exhibiting:
Polygenic inheritance
Genes that occur on the same chromosome are said to be:
linked
What is the difference between a monohybrid cross and a dihybrid cross?
A dihybrid cross involves organisms that are heterozygous for 2 characters and a monohybrid only one.
What is the ultimate goal/product of Meiosis?
4 haploid gametes
